On March 20, the DSU Creative Startup Cluster announced that it was confirmed to be the host organization of the 2019 Initial Start-up Package Project, in recognition of the 2018 performance evaluation of its business incubation project for start-ups, which it has been conducting for the past three years.

This new project, led by the Small Venture Business Division and the Business Start-up Promotion Agency, is a consolidation of existing business start-up universities, smart venture campuses, and generation-convergence start-up campus businesses.
As well as analyzing the potential of entrepreneurs’ start-up ideas, supporting pre-start-up stages, and promoting regional startups, it also plays a role as an educational start-up base for supporting both faculty and students through the operation of specialized programs.

In addition, DSU has also concurrently been carrying out entrepreneurship education, item commercialization and follow-up support for students and the general public through a separate Business-leading University Project.

Through this project, a business support center, entrepreneurship training center, and incubation center have been established to support two-way collaboration between university departments and strategic growth start-ups.
Through of these efforts, DSU ranked first among four-year tertiary institutions in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam region in the 2018 University Employment and Entrepreneurship Capacity Assessment conducted by the Korea Economic Daily in 2018.

Cheong Do-woon, Head of the DSU Creative Startup Cluster, said of these achievements, "We are making efforts to improve start-up support programs for innovative start-up companies every year by taking advantage of the infrastructure and specialization strengths of start-up support that is only to be found at DSU. With the help and support of the Small Venture Business Division and the Business Startup Promotion Agency, we will build a more creative and practical business support system."
